Usage of NSTAAFL
NSTAAFL (No Such Thing As a Free Lunch) is a phrase popularly used to articulate the idea that everything comes with a cost or consequences. The phrase was coined during the mid-20th century when free lunches were offered to potential customers by saloons, but only after they purchased drinks. The phrase has since been adapted to different spheres of life and is frequently used to remind people that there's always a catch or hidden cost associated with seemingly free things.
Examples of NSTAAFL used in texting:
1. Hey, do you want to come to the party at my friend's house tonight? NSTAAFL, you'll need to bring two bottles of wine.
2. I saw that you can get a free trial of that workout app. Be careful, NSTAAFL. You'll need to give them your credit card information, and they might charge you if you forget to cancel.
3. Can I borrow your car for the weekend? NSTAAFL, I need you to fill the gas tank before you return it.
